I bought my Ruger American Predator last week and scoped it with a Nikon Buckmaster 4X14X40 Mil Dot scope I had lying around:
Mine is 308 and shown in the above picture with an AAC fast attach flash hider used for attaching a Sound Suppressor:
Accuracy was more than acceptable both suppressed and unsuppressed.
Utilizing my handloads consisting of a moderate charge of surplus powder (WC844T) surplus primed (pulldown) 7.62X51 brass from Wideners and Nosler Custom Competition 168 grain bullets groups were very good:
Here's the first 10 rounds fired at 100 yards (unsupressed) after bore sighting. These were fired fairly quickly as it was about 110 degrees out at my desert shooting spot:
For those that are interested, the poi shift with the suppressor attached was 4 inches down and 3 inches right at 100 yards and an extremely rapid dope change got the group just about centered.
Here's the last 10 rounds fired suppressed at 200 yards at a 12 inch plate:
All and all I fired about 50 rounds through the Predator. Like I mentioned earlier it was about 110 degrees out at my shooting spot and all firing was done fairly quickly. There was no thought given to allowing the barrel to cool between groups as I would have died of heat stroke prior to any significant cooling of the barrel in that heat.
I'm impressed with the gun so far and at the price point offered from my LGS (especially for a suppressor ready rifle) it fit my needs to a tee.
